Who's Your Favorite?

Published on July 5, 2005 By DNCdude In US Domestic

I've been wandering lately who are the most popular politicians and why they are the most popular. For instance do Republicans favor the moderate voices from their party or do they lean more towards the ideologues? Or, do democrats lean towards who ever hates Bush the most, or who most embodies all of their beliefs?
So, if anyone could post a few politicians they admire and why, and their political affiliation I will try to write an article as to what republicans and democrats and people in general are looking for in their leaders. Thanks!

Well I am still by state standards a child (but remember they're wrong about that) so being childish isn't a big issue for me. No I haven't read any, I'll have to look them up next time in Barnes & Noble!

oh,btw....the names are: Harry Turtledove (Alternative History), Stephen Baxter (Science Fiction, wrote Time Ship, a sequel to The time machine, very good, very long book), and John Jakes (Historical Fiction)

(Just so you don't get the wrong one, as there are other authors with the same names...)

Thanks Dr.Guy! I'm surprised more people haven't said Reagan, even as a liberal he's on my list.

Thanks little_whip! Perhaps "favorite" wasn't the best choice to describe them?

didn't take shit from anyone...

Luckily enough for him though, the sh!t he would have had thrown at him wasn't anything as bad as it is now!

Reagan lead us out of the malaise of Carter, Vietnam and Watergate. He restored pride in ourselves.
